President Donald Trump has repeatedly discussed the importance of voter turnout in the GOP primary election and beyond. On Sunday, in Rochester, New Hampshire, he reminded state voters that the strength of victory mattered deeply.
At a campaign event over the weekend, he pointed out his dominating poll numbers but added a caveat.
He said, “…We’re all set to win, but you have to do just one favor: no matter how big we’re winning, we want to win by BIG margins…the more we win by, the bigger a signal we send for November.”
President Trump has talked about sending a “strong signal” before, urging primary voters to coalesce at the ballot box in 2024 in a unified flex of patriotic strength, pushing for a rejection of establishment politics and failed leftist policies.
Last week, Trump also asked voters to bring home a victory in the Granite State by “big margins” and reminded New Hampshire residents of the importance of getting out and voting in the primary election.
“You have to go out and vote, okay? Don’t sit back…we’re leading by a lot, but you MUST GO OUT AND VOTE,” he said in Atkinson, New Hampshire.
Trump is leading handily in New Hampshire, but he has noted on several occasions that the state has an open GOP primary, and therefore his political opponent was “counting on Democrats and liberals to infiltrate” the primary to accrue more votes.
He was referring to former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, the last GOP candidate challenging Trump for the Republican Party nomination in 2024 after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended his campaign.
President Donald Trump won the Iowa caucuses on January 15 by a historic margin of 30 points, blowing the previous 12.8-point Republican record set by Bob Dole in 1988 out of the water.
